Like it or not—and I most certainly do NOT like it—the various 9/11 conspiracies theories are associated with people who lean left politically. Why? Because these Deniers share one thing in common with lefties: they deeply dislike and distrust the Bush Administration.
Over the years, many lefties including me have been critical of the moderate members of the Republican Party for kissing the asses of the kooky Christian Right and caving in to their demands for creationism in school, prayer everywhere, etc. Well, unfortunately we have our nutcases too. Do we want them to define us?
That’s why we need to address this nonsense head-on.
